Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well! It is a weeping and a moaning and a gnashing of teeth

It is a weeping and a mourning and a gnashing of teeth

When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound, believe!

Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo

With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)
Lamborghini Mercy

Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)

Lamborghini Mercy

Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)
Lamborghini Mercy

Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)
Drop it to the floor
Make that ass shake
Whoa make the ground move, that's an ass quake
Built a house up on that ass, that's an ass state
Roll my weed on it, that's an ass tray
Say Ye, say Ye, don't we do this every day-day?
I work them long nights, long nights to get a pay day
Finally got paid, now I need shade and a vacay
And niggas still hatin', so much hate I need an AK
Now we out in Paris, yeah I'm Perrierin'
White girls politicin' that's that Sarah Palin
Gettin' high, Californicatin'
I give her that d, 'cause that's where I was born and raised in
Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
Hello! Hello!
It's prime time, my top back, this pimp game hoe
I'm red leather, this cocaine, I'm Rick James hoe
I'm bill droppin', Ms. Pac-Man is pill poppin' ass hoe
I'm poppin' too, these blue dolphins need two coffins
All she want is some heel money
All she need is some bill money
He take his time, he counts it out
I weighs it up, that's real money
Check the neck, check the wrist
Them heads turnin', that's exorcist
My Audemar like Mardi Gras
That's Swiss time and that's excellence
Two door preference
Roof gone George Jefferson
That white frost on that pound cake
So your Duncan Heinz is irrelevant
Lambo, Mercy-lago, she go wherever I go
Wherever we go we do it pronto
Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
Hello! Hello!
Well it is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
In the dance hall, and who no have teeth will run pon them gums
Caw when time it comes to my sound, which is the champion sound
The bugle has blown the many times, and it still have one more time left
Caw the amount of stripe weh deh pon our shoulder
Let the suicide doors up
I threw suicides on the tour bus
I threw suicides on the private jet
You know what that mean, I'm fly to death
I step in Def Jam building like I'm the shit
Tell β€˜em "Give me fifty million or imma quit."
Most rappers taste level ain't at my waist level
Turn up the bass till it's up in your face level
Don't do no press but I get the most press, kid
Plus you're my bitch, make your bitch look like Precious
Somethin' 'bout Mary she gone off that Molly
Now the whole party is melted like Dhali
Now everybody is movin' they body
Don't sell me apartment, I move in the lobby
Niggas is loiterin' just to feel important
You gon' see lawyers and niggas in Jordans
Now catch up to my campaign
Coupe the color of mayonnaise
I'm drunk and high at the same time
Drinkin' champagne on the airplane
Spit rounds like the gun range
Beat it up like Rampage
100 bands, cut ya girl now your girl need a band-aid
Grade A, A1, chain the color of Akon
Platinum diamonds backpack around me
Cosigned by Louis Vuitton
Horse power, horse power
All this Polo on I got horse power
Pound of this cost four thousand
I make it rain, she want more showers
Rain pourin', all my cars is foreign
All my broads is foreign, money tall like Jordan
Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty (Swirv)
I'm in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me (Swirv)
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
Hello! Hello!
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth




When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
Hello! Hello!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kanye West and RL Grime's song "Mercy" are about power, status, and hedonism. The repeated line "Lamborghini Mercy" suggests the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle of the artists, who are driving around in expensive cars and surrounded by women who are thirsty for their attention. The line "It is a weeping, and a mourning, and a gnashing of teeth" is a biblical reference to the suffering that will occur on Judgment Day for those who are not saved, and it is used here to create a sense of contrast between the pleasure-seeking world of the artists and the spiritual world of accountability.


The rest of the lyrics express the artists' confidence and swagger, as they boast about their wealth, their abilities, and their sexual conquests. The lines "I'm red leather, this cocaine, I'm Rick James hoe" and "Turn up the bass till it's up in your face level" suggest a rebellious and hedonistic attitude, while the lines "Most rappers taste level ain't at my waist level" and "Cosigned by Louis Vuitton" indicate the artists' high self-regard and their ability to command respect and admiration from others.


Overall, "Mercy" is a celebration of extravagant wealth, sexual prowess, and the power of music to evoke emotions and create a sense of superiority.
